Member Structure

Teens and young adults who are looking for anything, from friends to long term relationships.

70% are aged 18-35, 30% are over 35 years old

Although it's a mainstream online dating site, the feel of the site is actually exclusive. The site favours teens and young adults, and older members may have a hard time fitting into the site and finding a good match.

Signing Up

Users have to fill up a registration form with their personal information

You can add photos from your computer, or import them from your Facebook account

The entire registration process only takes a couple of minutes and the site only requires the bare minimum of personal information before you are taken to your dashboard. This system allows users to immediately get started instead of delaying it with more questions and fields to fill up.

Making Contact

The website has a search function that gives users access to all other members of Oasis Active

You can filter your search using any of the available fields in your profile

You also get featured matches from the website

All search functions are available for free

Sending messages to other users is free for everyone

There is a chatroom

Unlike other websites, Oasis Active allows their users to find other members easily through the search and featured matches function. They can also reach out and message other users without having to pay for a premium subscription.

Profile Quality

Oasis Active is a free dating platform, so users can view others' full profiles and pictures

It is easy to create fake profiles on the website, so it's possible that there are a lot of fake users on the platform

The profiles are quite detailed

The profile information can be changed later

Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

Some pictures can be privatized so only people in your contact list can see your private pictures.

Because of the way the profile page is built, completed profiles are extremely informative. However, all these fields are completely optional, and members on the platform can choose to leave the fields blank.

App

The Oasis Active app allows users to find matches and hookups on the go. The colour scheme is reminiscent of OasisActive's desktop version, with its strategic uses of blues and greens. The features are the same as well - the only difference is that the matches page is tweaked slightly to make it easier to swipe yes or no. Although it doesn't really offer anything new, it is a stable addition to Oasis Active's many features and function.

Real Life Review

Design

Although the site's choice of layout and color scheme feels a bit lackluster, at least it is functional. The site's use of tabs, navigational menus and drop-down menus are on point, so all features are accessible in a very organized manner.

Pages take a short time to load, even pages like the match result page, which contains several pictures.

Special Features

Although Oasis Active is a free online dating site, it does have special features to liven up its users' dating experience. There are also a couple of perks that you can get by paying an additional fee.

Who likes me?

Users get a list of members who have checked out their profile and are interested in meeting them. Since they already like you, all you need to do is sift through the page to see which ones you like back

My Maybes

With most dating sites, you are either interested or not interested in another person. With Oasis Active, you can place a certain member in your Maybe list if you aren't that interested in them, but you don't want to completely cross them out of your list of matches. You can always get back to them later on if you change your mind.

Shoutouts

You can choose from a selection of predefined messages, which the site will then broadcast to 1000 other active members who match your criteria. The Shoutout feature requires an additional fee and isn't part of the site's free services

Editors Conclusion

Oasis Active prides itself on being a totally free online dating service where users can find matches quickly and easily. However, as with other free dating sites that give users free reign over everything, it also means that safety and security take a backseat. The site is filled with fake profiles, rude and offensive users, and scammers. If you're looking for a serious relationship, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for easy hookups, you can certainly find them here, but use this site at your own risk.
